When i briefly reviewed PicApp in April. I said that it was not a logical solution for Bloggers because there were some other options for them. i still believe that. however i do think that their last partnership to give support for b5media does makes sense and it is a big win for picapp. that may seem as contradictory but it is not.
The ones asking the support is the Blog Network high ups. and getting proper free to use stock photos for blogging is still a touchy subject that need a political correctness to handle any mention of it.
PicApp is the best way to deal with that because you then transfer any obligations or scrutiny to a third party.
So congrats to Picapp, they get a very needed boost and b5media gets a weight off its back. everybody wins.

Have you tried their widget lately? They don’t seem to want to work for me. Either I get a blank widget or the wrong image.

@Ming: in my case. they are a hit or miss. they load in firefox but choke most of the time in IE7 and IE8 engines.

@David: woah, you guys were fast, and the problem seems to be in IE. i don`t know why.

I will get our product development team to go over the IE implementation, but which bloggers still use IE regularly?
Thanks again Avatar.

@David: I hope that was a joke ( a bad one by the way, shame on you
)… but i do use a modded IE7/8 every single day plus Flock 1.2 beta.

Yes, it was a joke, but it had to be said. We aren’t really working on our IE8 implementation yet. When it gets to release candidate 1, we will give it a more detailed look. Some IE7 issues should already be corrected, and we are looking at changing the user interface so it is even more friendly among all of the browser options.

@David: Yeah. i like blunt sincerity. so thanks for it. and more than likely if you fix things in IE7. IE8 will not have problems down the road.
i will add a little footnote to the post.
Thanks.
